Thirteen people--including Jason
J. Parmeley--are facing charges arising from the
discovery of a large stolen property ring. Authorities
have accused 42-year-old Jason of O'Fallon, Mo., of being
the ringleader. According to the indictment, he used the
Internet to obtain credit-card account numbers that
individuals and businesses had with Home Depot, Lowe's,
Menards, SunBelt Rentals and others. Using this
information, Jason allegedly placed orders with the
stores in the names of--and under the accounts of--the
individuals and businesses. The orders often consisted of
appliances, tools and construction equipment. The
indictment charges that once the orders were placed,
Jason dispatched drivers to pick up the items at the
stores. The items were then sold at prices substantially
below retail and the profits were then wire-transferred
to Jason in Mexico, the indictment states. At least five
of those indicted have plead guilty at the federal
courthouse in Benton, Ill. Tony G. Robertson, 44, of
O'Fallon, admitted that he worked as a driver for the
conspiracy from 2012 through '15, picking up fraudulently
ordered merchandise at retail stores and then delivering
those items to Jasons customers, and admitted that
he engaged in money laundering by wire-transferring money
to Jason in Mexico under a false name. The charges arise
from an indictment that was returned last year by a
federal grand jury in East St. Louis, Ill., and seeks
forfeiture of the proceeds. The investigation is being
conducted by agents from the St. Louis Division of the
Federal Bureau of Investigation.

the town administrator's use of town-provided
fuel. One resident has sought to confirm rumors
that the four-term administrator had taken the
Ford Focus on a trip to Maryland through an
access to public records request for her mileage
and fuel records, and questioned her mileage
entries at the town gas pump. "Politically,
we couldnt be further apart. But I respect
her," Jason said. "An hour of every

that they dont like her."

Jennifer Parmelee,
the Wallingford, Conn., woman discovered a bag on
the ground outside her car while getting ready to
drive her 12-year-old daughter to school. "I
turned around, looked in my van and realized
everyones things were missing," she
said. Among the stolen items were her daughter's
and husband's karate bags, which contained about
$500 worth of equipment. Jennifer said police
were able to recover most of the items, except
the karate uniforms. "She just earned her
black belt this past weekend and that was over a
nine-year commitment to her. That belt meant more
than anything to her." Police reported a
rash of break-ins that night in the neighborhood.

Alex Parmelee, the former
member of the Upper Mountain (N.Y.) Fire Company, now
living in Belize, is leading the charge to improve public
health services in the Central American country. The
48-year-old Colorado native and MD was recently asked by
Belize's Ministry of Health to start an EMS program in
San Pedro. He's taking delivery of Upper Mountain's
retired 1992 Ford ambulance, which will be San Pedro's
very first. Alex described the nation's healthcare as
"very basic," covering little more than
immunization and minor surgeries. San Pedro residents
take taxis, private vehicles or bicycles to get medical
care; some even walk. The town of about 14,000 has also
been using a pickup truck with a box in the bed to
transport individuals. The plan, Alex said, is to bring
this ambulance and another donated from Houston -- both
filled with medical supplies such as defibrillators and
ultrasound machines -- to Belize. "Theyre
going to be baffled when I come back and they actually
see an ambulance," he said. Above, Alex, left, takes

John, John) a 20-year-old paratrooper, jumped into
the dark French countryside to help the World War II Allies secure vital bridges and foil the
advancement of Nazi reinforcements. He recalled watching
with fascination as German tracer rounds rose into the
night sky, searching for their planes. "I remember
how those tracers kept going off around us," said
the Antioch, Calif., veteran who suffered a gunshot wound
to the neck seven days after the invasion. "There
was orange, white and blue rounds going through the air.
It was kind of pretty. ... For the first few days, I
thought it was a total disaster. Nothing went according
to plan. There was a lot of confusion. At one point, I
found myself in a bomb crater with a lieutenant colonel.
It was just us two. He didn't know where he was and was
scared to death, too. And here I was waiting for him to
tell me what to do." Emmert, now 90, was not up for
this year's commemoration in Normandy, but he did mark

he'll continue to fight for more humane treatment

tethering be banned after his neighbors brought
home an 8-week-old puppy about a year ago that
ended up spending 10 to 12 hours at a time
chained in the backyard, starting with that first
night. "They would just go off and leave it,
with the expectations that if it started pouring
down rain, I would bring it inside," Tim
said. He said the family had asked his advice on
acclimating the puppy to its new home, but it
became apparent that the wife didn't want the
dog, but the husband and four kids did. Animal
Control made visits to the house, but after
observing plenty of water, space for the tethered
dog to move around, and a doghouse, the officer
observed no violations. Tim offered to buy the
dog for $500, but said the family was angry at
him for filing the complaints and wanted nothing
more to do with him. The police chief said the
city receives far more complaints about
untethered dogs than of improperly tethered dogs.

scheme to torment loan agents Lamond Dean and Luis Garcia

modifying a loan for their La Cañada Flintridge

believed nothing was done to save their home and wanted
their money back. A meeting was set up with the agents in
2009 in a residential office, where things went awry.
Weston and Gustavo Canez, who has since been sentenced to
six years in state prison, allegedly carried out a

couple who'd sought a loan modification watched.
